More From David Antin
- "While I’ve had a great distaste for what’s usually called song in modern poetry or for what’s usually called music, I really don’t think of speech as so far from song."
- "There is probably no oral society that fails to mark the spatial distinction of left and right, peculiar as this distinction may be."
- "The self is an oral society in which the present is constantly running a dialogue with the past and the future inside of one skin."
